Did you see this? Gracious Care have been using dementia pets for a while now. See item on this page. It's great to see that their use is making it into the news. The publicity help to make customer and family acceptance easier.
There are plenty of examples of good care practice we can share with you and we're always scanning the news for more that we can all learn from.
It's important to be careful to assess risks associated with chemicals, drugs and cleaning products in connection with those living with dementia. This BBC item is a case in point.
